$5000 in 1937 was worth about the same as $85,000 today. So yes, what basically accounts for 2-3x their annual salary for most Americans would be a pretty huge change.

Statistically, real football teams should go for it on 4th downs much more than they do, even in some cases on their own side of the field. So this is a pretty poor example.

Sander’s effort to build a diverse coalition basically amounted to having Killer Mike tag-a-long with him, a man who’s current fan base consists primarily of 30 something white guys who want to listen to rap music that sounds like what they listened to in college.
